Re: [RBW] Re: DMV Area Rivendell Riders

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Here's my Chev, typically commuting from Arlington into Metro Center during 
the week, along the W and all around on Sundays.  I've seen a friend on 
a nice little Betty Foy in the past month or so, but I don't seem to run 
into too many of you folks (but I'm always looking)...

[RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Oh and I ran Schwalbe Road Cruisers which (I think we're x44) and my 
recollection was that they had to be taken down a bit for removal, but 
clearance was way fine when riding.  This is a sketchier recollection, I 
should add.

[RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi Justin,

I ran Paul Racer's on my Chev (thanks, Jon Dukeman of CO!) for awhile 
before I picked up some R559s.  Riv sells a little clamp-on cable stop (tho 
i don't see it on the site now) that can be mounted down near the pump peg 
(if I recall correctly) to accept the housing to work with Racers.  I'm 
only a hack-plus wrench and I was able to do it, so I imagine the more 
gifted among us would have no probs.

Good luck,

Re: [RBW] Ever get pulled over by police while on your bike?

I was stopped once for blowing a stop sign in a wealthy “hills“

I stop at stop signs now, at least sufficiently to avoid another situation

As it's the largest Sackville bag, it's the one I have my eye on.  From the 
site: " A big & tall saddlebag for tall riders with a 13-inch or bigger gap 
between the saddlebag loops and the tire or fender or rack, whatever sticks 
up highest."

I have maybe 9.5" of gap between Brooks flyer loops and a rack on a 60cm 
Cheviot - will the BaggaBond not work for me?  

To be honest, I don't carry much, even in winter - just my laptop, outer 
shell, and lunch (and a lock).  Would I be overdoing it with the BaggaBond?

thx

[RBW] FS Nitto Saddlebag wire guard

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi folks,

 In the event anyone’s been looking for one of these. Mounted but never really 
used. Riv gets $45, take mine for $30 + shipping. Always interested in cool 
trades too!

Thx 
Jeff

These just don’t seem to come on the market which makes me desire one even 
more. If yours ain’t getting ridden, I’d love to see if we can figure a deal. 
Thx!
